    unit is very well made. Camera is good and the lights are bright and can be controlled to adjust the brightness. Setup was pretty easy. Im have no electrical background and I was able to do all of it in about 15 minutes.

    Love-Google - Nest Cam with Floodlight - Snow

    I initially used Blink cameras, but they barely recorded and didn't meet my needs. After some research, I decided to invest in Google Nest cameras despite their higher cost. I'm beyond pleased with them and have installed them throughout my home, both inside and out. I would never recommend any other brand.

    Works great, wish it worked with the Nest app, but it does provide great pictures through the camera and the flood lights are great. Much brighter then what I had

    I had an electrician install this camera/flood light combo in place of a existing light on the back of our house. The installation seemed to go fairly simple and we were able to adjust the area of coverage to our liking. The u it blends in with the house well. The only downside to this unit is that it does not connect with the Google Nest app but I have already set up with my front doorbell. Instead, it has its own app, Google Home. Hard to believe Google couldn’t have had it connect with the other app. Control over the lighting is great.

      Hi JerseyRick, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize if you’re unable to use the Nest app for your Nest Cam with Floodlight.

      Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, and Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Cams. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place.

      We value your feedback and your satisfaction is what drives us in improving our products and services. If you need help, please feel free to contact us anytime through this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I love how it is able to differentiate between person, vehicle, or animal 9 out of 10 times (Other 1 of 10 are when it mistaken a bird as a person.) Down side is within the month I got this it became unresponsive twice, because if was in a higher up hard to reach area, I had to let the battery die and basically not have a camera for the few hours. It would be nice to get notifications when it needs to install updates and not randomly when something was happening.

    Clear video captures people from a far distance and records through their entire movement. Works well at night even when flood lights are off. Sound is great, can hear conversations of neighboors when actively watching the camera which means the mic is pretty intense. Connected easily to my Google Home for easy access.

    Over priced! Poorly designed!

    This product is overpriced and is lacking in functionality. I am very disappointed in the articulation of the lights and camera. The camera housing it self is large for no reason. Also the view angle is very disappointing. I have a small backyard and it only covers a portion like 16'x13'. Come on guys would it kill ya to give us a wide angle camera? The bracket that holds the usb wire to the camera is very cheap. Someone could easily knock the camera of its magnetic base .Also I couldn't get it to work with the nest app . Seems I'm being forced to use the home app. I aslo have the nest door bell, garage and thermostat all work great with the nest app but have to use this product with the home app instead. Make no sense nest app is better for cameras. I would not recommend this product. I only got it because I have other nest products.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I am so happy I purchased the Google Nest Cam. My home has an alley behind it with a lot of pedestrian and vehicle traffic. It is a comfort to see what is going on out there especially after dark! I have a Google doorbell on the front porch which is also awesome!

    Easy to install, though, mine had issues due to my old light having very short wires. Also had a tough time locking the light in place for a bit. Practice before you install. Great lighting. Face recognition works ok. For those who install "upside down," it is not an issue, just flip the video. Works well with my other google products. Still fine-tuning the "zones."
